Michelle M.: Yay, you made it!

HUGS…

tonight (prolly because i’m a little shitfaced), i’m gonna make an exception, because here’s the thing about buchanan: yeah, he’s ultra-conservative; and yeah, he’s probably a nazi sympathizer; and yeah, he’d undoubtedly love to throw all us homogays into concentration camps and fill our every orifice with concrete–believe me, i understand all that.

what i also understand–and what most liberals either don’t, or won’t–is, he’s also a very shrewd, observant student of history, and has drawn some very compelling parallels between the fall of past so-called eternal empires, and what’s now happening to ours.

in other words: yeah, he can be an asshole, but he can also be (and quite often is) right.

[excuse me now while i crawl back into my bunker at ruby ridge, adjust my tinfoil hat and await the invasion of the black helicopters]

I can just see the student evaluations at the end of the term: “He should show porn in class more often…”, or “My favorite part of the class was when we read the syllabus…”
